I really like this website plan. The high quality images, and the clean navigation let the web looks really clean and easy to read. Separate the portfolio to be residential and commercial can let clients really easy to find the examples which they want. And the contact page also really clean, the links are also useful. The only thing i think it can add in the contact page is to add the contact form to let people be easier to contact them.

I think for this website is really interesting. Designer use the small images to be the navigation, and also showing the really clean label, It can let me feel be better than only use the name to show the page. Only think I think it can be improve is they should put the navigation on the top of the homepage, it will be easier to let me find the page.

This website has really complete information and high quality images. but one thing on the home page I don't like is the background images are really dark, so I can not really easy to read the black color navigation. I think the designer can reduce the transparency of the images. For other parts, I think they did really good. the site map looks really clean and easy to understand, and the information of the contact page are really easy to let me got the link to contact the company.

I like this website. The site map is really easy to understand, and the interesting thing is designer also create a page to introduce their different design service. It can let me know more about their work. And on designer also post the contact number and email address on every page, I think it can let people contact them to be easier.

For the home page of this website, I think it show too many information on this page, and let me feel so busy on one page. But for other pages, I think they did really good. The clean navigation, high quality images, and completed information can let me know more about the website, and also can let me easy to get the contact information.

Week 7 Peer Critique

The Feedback for XiaoTong Yuan

https://www.xiaotongyuan.com/

I like the organize of the cover page, looks clean and easy to read, but I suggest to change another image of the coverage. 

For the navigation, I think you might can add more on that. Now, you only have HOME and SHOP, you can add IMAGE, CONTACT, RESUME as well.


The most important thing I think you can change is put all of your project images in your IMAGE page, but not the HOME page, because now your page like me really easy to miss your project images. 



The Feedback for Philip Yeoman

I really like your logo of your website. I don't think your navigation and Homepage have any problem. they are clean and easy to read. only one thing I think you can change, which is in your Portfolio page, your image cube looks to much, you can only post one image of your each project, not all of them on one page.

Website Analysis 1

Website Analysis 1

I really like this concept of the website. It looks really clean and easy to read. I can find everything I need in her website. The designer puts herself information, projects, services information, testimonials, press, and contact information on the navigation menu, witch is on the top of the website page. And on the home page, she also put the photo gallery on the home page; it can let me easy to see the style of her design. The only thing I think she can improve, that she can change the text style of the title. And let the title looks bigger.

This website also looks really good. The designer also put the navigation menu on the top. It includes the designer information, residential projects, commercial projects, and contact, art, map, video, and MORE. But I think the menu let me feel a little bit confused. When I only see the name of that, I cannot understand what is the “art” and “more” means. And when I go into the “art” menu, I also didn’t see any information in there. And the “more” menu, I think she can put the information in the “contact” and “about” menu, because she put the blog link and herself information in there.


This is my favorite website concept. Every part looks clean and has the sense of design. She put the photo gallery and navigation menu on the home page. In the menu, she only put the portfolio, press, herself information and contact information. Everything in those menu are really clean and also has high quality images.
